Top-class Bodyguard

Chapter 1102 1078: I Have Confidence We Can Make Money Together

Ren Feng sat in the passenger seat while Liou Rumei drove, the car speeding forward. They had already left the urban area and were now even beyond the Fifth Ring Road.

The scenery around them shifted from forests of skyscrapers to something like untouched nature—blue sky, white clouds, and a slightly desolate, empty wilderness.

Not far ahead, rolling green hills stretched into the distance.

Liou Rumei was clearly very familiar with the road and drove the car straight up into the mountains.

"When I first came to Yanjing, I originally planned to keep a low profile. I wanted to wait until my power had taken shape before I started my revenge against the Liou Family."

Driving, Liou Rumei continued, "But later I realized that was way too naive. The Liou Family has been rooted here for nearly a century. The strength and wealth they've accumulated is terrifying. Everything I've done in Yanjing is already within their sights. So if I follow normal methods, there's no way I can topple them."

"So what are you planning to do?" Ren Feng asked.

"Same as I did in the beginning: leverage others. Or, put it another way, get something for nothing."

Ren Feng was a bit puzzled, and Liou Rumei said, "Do you know what I've turned this mountain into?"

"What?"

"You'll know in a minute."

Ren Feng felt a bit exasperated. Liou Rumei giggled again, her laughter riding over the sound of the engine.

Before long, the two arrived at Malang Mountain. A section of the mountain had been fenced off with barbed wire. Inside was a vast stretch of barren land, overgrown with wild grass and brambles, and from time to time you could spot pheasants, wild rabbits, and other animals.

"Confused?" Liou Rumei giggled. "This is the kind of investment with the lowest cost and the highest returns. I've turned it into a racecourse and hunting ground. Right now there's only hunting. Give it a bit of time and we'll start hosting horse races."

"Young masters in Yanjing like this kind of thing?" Ren Feng asked.

"Being rich is actually a headache sometimes. Every shop welcomes them with open arms, everything is theirs for the taking. The process is too easy, and that makes it boring and dull. They need something fresh and exciting. Why do bloody, violent,刺激-filled things sell so well with rich second-generation heirs? Same logic."

Liou Rumei said, "And this hunting ground is pure, primal刺激 and blood. To them it's like throwing meat to a pack of wolves—it will absolutely grab their interest. Plus, in Yanjing this is the first hunting ground of its kind. As long as I can build it up, it'll definitely become the next big trend in Yanjing."

Looking at the confident Liou Rumei, Ren Feng smiled and said, "You understand business better than I do. I trust you."

"Qingcheng Club at Butterfly Overturning City Club is already up and running for the women. This place is for the men of Yanjing. All I have to do is set up a venue and a few simple rules, and it'll naturally evolve into their gathering spot. For the sake of刺激, they'll start adding bets on their own, just like those rich kids in Jiangnan City."

Ren Feng nodded. He understood very well that anything involving gambling turns into a quagmire that swallows people whole. It's just the form of gambling that changes. This time, the gambling took the form of hunting.

Then, with Rumei's explanation, Ren Feng gradually understood. The rules were simple: whoever bagged the most prey, or whose prey ranked highest in level, would win.

For example, pheasants and wild rabbits counted only as the simplest C-level prey, while wolves or antelopes were B-level. Big ones like wild boars and bears were A-level prey, but that level was very rare.

Because none of these animals were truly wild—they were captured elsewhere and then released into the hunting ground for people to chase for fun—so they were quite pricey.

But those young masters weren't short of money. And to turn the place into a hunting ground, you didn't even need to alter the land. Compared with other projects, the cost was rock-bottom.

It had to be said, Liou Rumei's business talent was truly impressive.

In just a short while, their car pulled up in front of a mountain villa. In the open space before the villa, dozens of sports cars were parked!

The two got out. Seeing so many sports cars, even Liou Rumei couldn't help looking a bit surprised.

"Hey, Mr. Liou is here," a young master called out loudly.

"Mr. Liou, what took you so long? I've been waiting forever to attend your opening ceremony today."

The young masters all gathered around, extremely enthusiastic. Ren Feng had sharp eyes and even spotted a few of the guys he'd seen that day at Emperor Heaven Hotel.

Liou Rumei smiled faintly. "Thank you all for waiting. We'll unveil things in a moment. As the very first batch of guests, there'll be discounts for you later."

"You're too kind, Mr. Liou."

Keeping her smile, Liou Rumei said, "Don't worry, the activity later will definitely satisfy everyone."

Standing off to the side, Ren Feng watched. Up ahead there was a stage where a few officials from the relevant departments and some people from the real estate sector were standing. When Liou Rumei walked up, someone handed them ceremonial balloons.

Liou Rumei took the scissors and cut. The people below burst into applause. The plaque covered in red cloth was revealed, and five large, golden characters gleamed: "Malang Hunting Ground."

"Hunting ground?"

The young masters instantly got excited.

"Alright, let's go inside for a drink first. I'll explain the rules to everyone afterward."

Liou Rumei said with a smile.

The young masters swarmed into the villa. Ren Feng followed them in and realized the interior of the villa had a kind of tranquil luxury—low-key, yet full of taste—and everything you could need was there.

Liou Rumei had the waiters start serving dishes while she explained the rules of the hunting ground.

Ren Feng listened quietly from the side. He wasn't paying close attention, but he still caught that a single hunting session cost around thirty to fifty thousand. He couldn't help admiring her more. Sometimes, taking money off rich young masters was really easy.

"Mr. Liou, money's not an issue. Can we give it a try first?"

"Of course."

Smiling, Liou Rumei said, "There's a changing and storage area in the back. Inside you'll find one set of hunting gear, one set of riding gear, a pair of riding boots, one Good-quality Curved Bow, and a number of arrows. Gentlemen who want to try, please first enter your names at the front desk."

Soon, some people headed over, full of excitement, picked up their gear, and entered the hunting ground. The atmosphere in the villa started to warm up.

"Mr. Liou, do you have any confidence in going up against the Liou Family this time?" one young master asked with a smile.

As soon as he said that, the room fell silent, and everyone turned to look at Liou Rumei.

It had to be said, that question was a bit too direct.

Liou Rumei glanced around at the crowd and smiled faintly. "Go up against the Liou Family? That's a bit exaggerated."

Everyone felt a slight chill in their hearts, and then Liou Rumei continued, "But I am confident I can make money together with all of you."
